Amnesia if you hadn't already, Magicka if you hadn't already, and save the rest for some other good games i guess... unless your computer can handle witcher 2 then I'd recommend pre-purchasing that.

@nukesniper: I can't, my only gaming system is a PS2. Also, my laptop is six years old so I can't play the PC version.

#19 Posted by MaFoLu (1820 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

All I can say right now is: Magicka.

I can dig that! Perhaps, though I've been trying to find DBZ Budokai 3 as my next PS2 game.

Battlestar Galactica Blu-Rays.

Something with lots of guns (something good for a game that you've not played) & spend the rest on good beer or single malt scotch to enjoy your purchase.

#38 Posted by Skald (4366 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Ten thirteenths of a Kindle.

#39 Posted by super2j (1248 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

@SathingtonWaltz: OOHHHH, i bought that game the first chance i had. I love it so much. I can sell you it for a hundred !!!!. But seriously. I would put that money into a new console. I would pull up craigslist or some sight like that and check to see if u can find a used ps3 (cause buying a used xbox is dangerous. red ring anyone). Then you could play dbz burst limit (in my opinion, it sucks compared to budokai 3 but looks amazing)

The Playstation is a gaming system, and Giantbomb is a website about video games.

Timesplitters: Future Perfect, the Personas if you haven't got either of them.

I am. I'm using 100 dollars of my entire tax return, the rest is going into savings. And how is the PS2 not an actual gaming platform? Feels pretty real to me, especially when I play GAMES on it.

Because... video games? Just because my current gaming platform isn't a 360 or PS3 doesn't mean I can't be on this site asshat.

And if you go to the right places you should have enough money left over to buy a full priced game.

Buy Giant Bomb.

Or save up for a better PC/a PS3. It's worth it.

#46 Posted by GunnBjorn (2907 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

The fact that you don't know what to do with it is a good reason not to spend it at the moment. Wait until the hunch tells you what you really want to do with.

I second this. You aren't too far from a used 360 (If you want to take that dive). Otherwise yeah get some Persona.

Agreeing with everyone else who think you should save the money to get a used current-gen platform. Even the PS3 is roughly $220 used now, I think. The rest is going into your savings, but save your "flush" money so you can get back into modern games. (And even if they ARE still coming out with PS2 games somehow, I think Persona 4 was the last good one, right?)
